The theme for this month's SWAP on UKPC is:-Greys with an Accent Colour of Your Choice.
The 2 cards done so far have turquoise and pink so I went with orange.
I had pondered this for a while and had to force myself (yet again) to sit at my desk and actually DO something.
SAD light on and it seems to have done the trick too.
I used various grey pieces of card for the oak leaves and Spiced Marmalade and Iced Spruce inks.
Thought the corners cut out added a nice feature plus my usual liquid pearls and stickles.
Here's my finished card - phew done it!

Hi BJ. That's a really lovely card. I like the fact of different shades of grey. Good colour combo.
Take care. God bless.

Thanks for visiting. I am so happy to have time to be involved again. I truly love your shades of grey..I always think swaps help the motivation. I miss my ATC swaps. Have a great week.
Hi BJ, gorgeous card, I so love the leaves they are a lovely shape and variety of colours. Have good crafty week and great woyww, Angela x 17
I don't think I would have thought to pair orange with grays, but it works so well with the fall theme! Beautifully done!

That's a gorgeous card BJ and I love the colour combo. I also love the swirly die cut you used - it's so pretty and looks great against the leaves. Glad you are feeling a bit better, have a great week,

Nice BJ, lovely striking offset on the grey if you ask me. Glad the SAD light helps a bit...I think you're right about forcing yourself too, sometimes I can waste a couple of hoursdoing not very much rather than sit at the desk and do something - anything creative!
BJ, That's a fab card and I love the orange with the grey.
Happy WOYWW
